TEXAS (NFL/Florio) – The NFL’s concussion lawsuit epidemic continues to grow. Former NFL tight finish Matt Schobel has filed a civil complaint against the NFL in Texas, according to TheBigLead.com. Schobel played for the Bengals and Eagles.
The allegations in this single-plaintiff lawsuit echo the other pending concussion lawsuits. Schobel claims that the NFL knew or really should have recognized about the lengthy-term wellness effects of concussions, that the NFL understated and/or concealed the evidence, and that the NFL failed to take measures aimed at warning or protecting players from concussions.
Meanwhile, the former player who filed the very first concussion lawsuit against the league, Ray Easterling, reportedly has committed suicide, according to NFLConcussionLitigation.com. His claims against the league could be converted to a wrongful death action, equivalent to the suit filed by the estate of Dave Duerson against the NFL.
In the coming days and weeks, we’ll be taking a closer appear at the concussion litigation – the claims, the defenses, the status of the lawsuits, and all other relevant problems. Most NFL fans don’t care about the situation, but all must. Even though it’s a lot more than a bit unrealistic to suggest these claims could result in the extinction of the NFL, the lessons learned by the NFL (and issues relating to future litigation) could continue to push the league toward safety measures that will potentially alter the way the game is played in a manner that alienates some fans.

Nicely, we have 1 explanation for why Albert Haynesworth was so quiet last week.
Haynesworth’s back injury is poor sufficient to maintain him out of this weekend’s game. the Patriots downgraded Haynesworth, safety Patrick Chung, and wide receiver Taylor Cost to out on Saturday.
Greg Bedard of the Boston Globe noted early this week that Haynesworth didn’t have a noteworthy snap in 22 plays. Bedard charted the snaps and notes that Chargers guard Kris Dielman handled Haynesworth 1-on-1 on 15 of the plays.
The Patriots are thin in a couple of important areas. They are missing Haynesworth, Myron Pryor, and Mike Wright on the defensive line. With tight finish Aaron Hernandez out in addition to Cost, we’d anticipate to see Chad Ochocinco on the field a lot much more.
